This is a sports car that will handle almost anything. I've had it for a month now and driven everywhere. The handling is outstanding on mountain roads. The engine never showed signs of exhertion. In the city, it's an eye-catcher because it's different from the "traditional" Volvo. The money is well worth it if you're comparing with BMW, Audi, Acura, and Lexus.

I am in love with this Volvo. The car handles amazingly. It rides firm as if it were built for performance only, but doesn't loose the luxury car feel. The power of the turbo inline 5 is excellent, and handles the mountains of western PA like no other car I have owned.

I love this car, and have wanted one since they came out with the new body style in 2004.5. The only trouble I have had was the alarm siren had to be replaced, but was of course covered by warranty. I was considering an Accord, but I am glad I went with the S40. I replaced my 2000 S70 with it.

The car gets compliments every where I go. The price is fair, looks great inside and out, and drives like a well tuned sports sedan.

Overall, I loved this vehicle. It was a bit of an adjustment going from a van to this small sedan. My chief complaints were all the noises, especially during warmer months. The clutch creeked so loud it sounded like a barn door (even after the dealer fixed it multiple times). Then the air compressor was noisy (almost "breathing") even when it was not in use and then the windows didn't seal up quite right resulting in air gaps and noises. Occassionally, my CD's would get stuck for a few days. I would still recommend this vehicle despite it's little quirks.
